Frog And Toad

I like the books of "Frog and Toad" by Arnold Lobel. Years ago, when I was tiny, some of these books helped me learn to read. I think Toad is funny. He likes to sleep a lot and is always laughed at because he does stupid things. Frog is always looking for adventure! One time Toad made a day's list and it blew away. He chased it. Here is what the list said:

Wake up.

Eat breakfast.

Get dressed.

Go to Frog's house.

Take walk with Frog.

Eat lunch.

Take nap.

Play games with Frog.

Eat supper.

Go to sleep.

He crossed out "wake up", "eat breakfast", "get dressed", "go to Frog's house" and "take walk with Frog". When he went to cross out the last phrase, the paper blew away and they could not catch it. He had a hard time remembering what it (the list) said. Then he remembered the last one on the list - "go to sleep".

Here is another story. One time, Toad made a big batch of cookies and took them to Frog. Frog loved the cookies and so did Toad. They ate so many cookies that they couldn't stop. Frog said they need more will power. So, they ate about ten more and gave the rest to the birds.

Frog and Toad are very funny. They get into a lot of silly adventures. They are the amphibian version of Spongebob and Patrick. If you are teaching a little kid to read, use the "Frog and Toad" books. That's what helped me learn.
